Subsoiler for both arable and grassland

[Ninjago]

What's the best subsoiler that i can use both on arable and grassland? What about an Opico Swardlifter with two sets of points?

I have coming a 4m folding Agriweld one coming for that exact job in next few weeks. We have helped over the last few years with the development and now got one for ourselves.

other option to look at would be sumo

I suppose i should go for a specific grassland subsoiler with the wider leg spacing and leading discs and hopefully it will also do a decent job on arable stubbles.

For example go for the Sumo GLS as appose to the LDS.

Sumo GLS does a good job of both.

Sumo GLS You can buy a set of Trio legs to swap if you want more lift

We use a Sumo GLS on both

Good morning Alistair, you will be needing some more ferobide for your GLS legs

 

[Alistair Nelson]

Have enough for now thank you as only doing legs as got posh APM points and guttler roller so no need to do scrapers.

cheers

interestingly whilst helping Agriweld we found the narrower 500mm leg spacing easier to pull when trying a 3m 5 leg 600mm spacing in same field as 4m 8leg 500mm spacing on same tractor on same day which was quite surprising.

? 5 legs easier than 8 legs? Get away! What am I missing?

 

[Alistair Nelson]

Not entirely sure neither were we hence same tractor, field day to try and remove all variables can only say what we saw

Great, thanks for that. You can't beat a photo!

The APM point is very good but you still need to protect the back of the wing and fixing bolt.

Tried the sumo but thought it disturbed to much. First 4 pics on grass and stubble.

Bought one of these instead. Not used it yet but I think it’s the best one on the market.

Each leg helps the one next to it a bit rather than each one having to work totally seperately?
Having a leading tine (V arrangement) helps rather than a level row of 5 or 8.

Were they running at the same depth?

Who manufactures that? Looks simple which I like
